Green Party candidate Jill Stein is gaining ground among Muslim-American voters in three critical swing states: Michigan, Arizona, and Wisconsin, according to a recent poll by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

Stein leads Vice President and Democrat candidate Kamala Harris in these states, with 40 per cent support in Michigan, 35 per cent in Arizona, and 44 per cent in Wisconsin. This surge in popularity appears tied to Stein’s vocal criticism of US support for Israel during the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

    Of course, they all got together to do Islamophobia in unison after 9/11. But what the Bidens ousting proves is that Democrats cannot literally just do whatever they want. There are limits to how hard they can sell out.

    Those limits are set by the amount of people willing to vote for it. The DNC would have 100% ran Biden again if they could manage to get their skeleton puppet re-elected again.

    Democrats changed Biden for the simple reason of people not willing to vote for him. Nobody will get what they want by simply caving for the DNC and voting for them unconditionally. Democrats did not want to change Biden they were forced to listen for votes.

      Biden’s ousting proves that the party donors control the party. They changed candidates because the donors didn’t want him, and as soon as they changed the Party was showered with money.

      Now certainly voter enthusiasm was part of that, but only to a certain extent. Donors aren’t going to pull funding because Democrats join a bipartisan Muslim ban.
